Like butter spread over too much bread... #thehobbit
There are things that I loved and things that I hated about the 2nd installment of the Hobbit movies, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
[Spoiler (click to open)]
What I liked:As always Jackson's use of New Zealand to create the feeling of being IN Middle Earth is wonderful and awakens an urge to go there and feel the grass between my toes. Like LoTR, it looks right ( Read more... ) -
The Voice Season 4 - Winner revealed.
Last night's finale of the Voice Season 4 was an incredibly entertaining end to a fantastic season. Many of the 'Confessionals' and other vignettes were extremely funny.

Another Warped Year
Another summer means another Warped Tour for me. Attending the Warped Tour is key event in my summer schedule each year. Something I look forward to with significant excitement.
